dbpprop:abstract
  • Manas-vijnana is the seventh of the eight consciousnesses taught in Yogacara Buddhism. The higher consciousness that localizes experience through thinking. One of its primary functions is to perceive the subjective position of the store consciousness and erroneously regard it as one's own ego, thereby creating ego attachment. Its basic nature is that of thought, but there is a difference between it and the sixth consciousness. Not consciously controllable, it is said to be a mind of a realm that gives rise to contradiction of conscious decisions, and to incessant self-love. Since it can also be called the movement of the human mind which sees the limits of human variation from within, it is necessary that for their basis of existence, humans have some fundamental thing that unceasingly continues and changes, serving as the ground for the sixth consciousness. This consciousness is also called the place where good and evil are eternally accumulated, and is theorized as the connecting realm between the mano-consciousness and the ālayavijñāna.
  • 末那識（まなしき、Skt：Manas-vijnaana）とは、大乗仏教の唯識説の説く八識のうち第七識であり、第八識（阿頼耶識）を所依として、第八識の見分を所縁として生じる識である。 末那識を「意」と訳す。「意」は思量の意味であり、この識は常に第八識の見分を縁じて、我である、法である、と思量するから末那と言われる。また、末那識とは末那即識（意それ自体が第七識）のことで、第六意識（意に依る識）と区別する為に、manas マナスのまま音写していう。つまり第六識も「意識」というので、その違いは、意識は意によって生じる識であるから意識という。依主釈。末那識は持業釈である。 我法二執の根本である。八識はみな思量の作用があるが、末那識は特に恒（間断なく常に作用する）と審（明瞭に思惟する）との二義を兼ね有して他の七識に勝っているから末那（意）という。思量とは「恒審思量」といわれ、恒に睡眠中でも深層において働き続け、審(つまび)らかに根源的な心である阿頼耶識を対象として、それを自分であると考えて執着し続ける。この深層的な自我心を滅することによって、我々は初めて真の無我行を実践することができる。 第七識・末那識と相応するものは、我癡・我見・我慢・我愛の四煩悩、作意・触・受・想・思の五遍行別境の慧、大随惑の八（不信・懈怠・放逸・惛沈・掉拳・失念・不正知・散乱）であるとされる。 一説では、この識を因縁識といい、過去の事象が潜在する識といい、悪念の集結潜在力（障碍作用）の依所といわれる。
